But the team has kept it serious and somber when talking about the end of their playoff run. Until Sunday night when the veteran right guard cracked their first public “double doink” joke of the offseason.

He watched Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors hit a game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers with an iconic shot that bounced off of the rim four times.

Kyle Long made Bleacher Report's 'Most Overpaid Player' list and definitely had some fun with it

On Saturday, Bleacher Report released their list of each NFL team’s most overpaid player. Kyle Long was the selection for the Bears, but the six-year veteran certainly knows how to have fun with the detractors.

Rather than responding in a brash or upset manner, Long decided to thank his agent for negotiating his four-year contract extension from back in 2016. Long has still been a productive player for the Bears, but $10 million a year was a bit too rich for the Bears’ current contending plans, and so they and Long agreed to restructure the contract lowering his cap figure for 2019.

At this point, he is still one of the crucial pieces of the Bears much improved offensive line, and while the details of his new cap figure aren’t public yet, it’s safe to say the Bears are happy with Long’s place in their long-term plans, regardless of his year-to-year cap hit.

And while the fans loved Long’s tweets, some pretty notable names loved Long’s reaction as well.

Long’s contract is fully guaranteed for 2019, regardless of what happens from an injury standpoint. Then next offseason, Ryan Pace will have to decide whether or not to accept the 2020 option on his contract.

He would be set to cost $9.6 million against the salary cap that season, which the Bears can nullify by declining the option before the start of the 2020 league year.

That would make Long the 11th highest-paid guard in the NFL that season in terms of cap hit, right after he turns 31 years old.

If he can return to form with a strong 2019 season, he might have a chance of coming back for that 2020 option year.

But if he continues on the trajectory he’s currently on, Long might not be a Bear for life — at least not at this salary.
